Say Nothing Chapter 9
The next morning, with the phone ringing to wake her, Bette raised her jet lagged body to answer it.
“So Porter, you decided to come home.”
“Good morning to you too Alice.”
“I thought you were coming home day before yesterday.” The writer/reporter was full of questions.
“Yes, that was the original plan but, plans changed.”
“So, how did it go?”
“Alice, I got in late yesterday. My body absolutely hates me right now. I have a bit of a headache, as I usually do after really long flights and I need a shower and some strong coffee. Can we talk just a bit later? Please?”
“It’s cool. Let’s just plan dinner at the Planet tonight. 7:00?”
“That sounds great Alice. See you later.” Bette would have agreed to just about anything to get Alice off of the phone.
Bette laid herself back down across the bed still reeling a bit from the success of her trip. She could not wait to tell James all about it. He was the only one who would know anything. This absolutely could not get out. Not now anyway.
It was early afternoon when Bette finally found her way into the gallery. Her entrance was met by her excited assistant. “Congratulations Bette. This is so huge. My God, there are gallery owners in New York who are going to absolutely die when the exhibit is announced.” James was excited for Bette as this was a personal triumph but, this was such a huge accomplishment for the gallery. To be able to draw the enigma that is Tina Kennard to The Porter Gallery may well forever change the gallery from a well respected gallery to “the” gallery. No one was more aware of the effect of the planned exhibit on the gallery than Bette.
“James, this is to be kept soooo quiet. Our agreement is very intricate. It took every ounce of my being, her every question answered, her every demand met to get this deal done. She really didn’t have very many requests though. But, I have assured her that this would not be leaked under any circumstance. This will not be discussed outside of this gallery and will only be discussed between us in this gallery.”

i don’t know why but I get a warm feeling when I read this story!
Oh, so intriguing. Why did Tina come visit so soon? Will Bette introduce Tina to the girls? PPS.
i love this story… so glad tina came to visit… i have a feeling tina may not be returning to paris.. for a while that is… or just long enough to pack… please post soon…
Forget thank you’s and blah,blah, can we have more. I’m so excited that Tina came and surprised Bette.
OMG!!! I so didn’t expect Tina to be in L.A. that soon but I am so freakin’ happy they are toghether again—and I am not even Bette! LOL. The suspense is killing me. I wish you could post a chapter every day. The update though will tide me over till the next one. I hope. PPS. I’m dying to know what happens next. Love this story!
This Tina is so different from the one we’re used to, yet you’ve made her quite believable.Thanks for the unexpected posting.
i agree with resultsonly… this story does give me a warm feeling inside. don’t worry about the personal notes… we would rather see new chapters sooner :)
i bet tina missed bette like hell!!!!!! yay now tina will be falling in love with bette and will stay in LA forver….i can only hope…
I am totally addicted to your wonderful writing! I love your self-assured, flirty, and oh-so-sexy Tina. I had forgotten that Tina had planned a trip to see Bette. Can’t wait for the next chapter and Bette’s reaction to her visit.
Oh goody, Tina used that ticket, I was waithing for that. I hope Bette fluffed the sheets and made the bed as I believe that Tina will need a place to stay. Thank you, Md
Tina in LA..that was quite a shocker! Now what? Fascinating story!
I think this was an arbitrarily inconsiderate place to leave us – just as Tina was meeting Bette in her gallery. You could have easily gone on for at least 5 or 6 more pages. I know I could have read on for that much more. I was just getting comfortable. Well, thanks.
Aren’t fanfic readers an ungrateful lot?
Turnabout is fair play, and Tina as the dominant character is refreshing. It makes Bette stretch to equal her. Thanks!
This is good!
I think I’m falling in love with this Tina.. .. Done great job as always, Thank you djrk
Oh YAY! I’m so looking forward to what happens now.
Sooo, everything is going according to Tina’s plan, huh? We recall she anticipated her trip, while Bette was still in Paris. We are glad that she did surprise Bette. Now we know that there is some longing on Bette’s side. We wonder if Tina feels the same. Hmmm Can’t wait for your next chappy. As you can see, you always leave us very anxious to read more. We just can’t have enough. Hahaha Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks. Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties)
I get so many emotions when i read this! Its so good!! Please dont stop! update asap!!
i love this story.
OMG..this story is just so beautifully written and it is so hard to wait between chapters. pps
This story is so loving and beautiful!!! I so love your B&T!!!! Thank you
O, it’s so nice that they have met once again)As I think we can hope for few chapters where Tina and Bette would be trying to reassure themselves that they dont do relationships=)I have noticed, that Giselle came with Tina, although at first Tina planned to come alone.
awww – what a great chapter – and so very well written! looking forward to b & t`s realisation that they have the hots for each other – they will SOONER or later, right!? :)) thanks for posting this wonderful story.
I thought a phone call, but an appearance is even better
